[Samba] Is smbpasswd against windows 2003 server working?
Hi guys, me again. Please, I would like to know if this is a bug/ incompatibility with windows 2003 server. I would like that someone that has accounts stored on windows 2003 server make a test and try to change a password of one of those users from a linux box using smbpasswd -r <w2k3_host> -U username. For me it always complains about invalid username or password. This work if I change a password of an user account stored on a NT server, but not 2003 server. Or anyone know another way to change an user password stored on windows 2003 server from a linux box? I'm deseperate and would appreciate any hint. Thanks. __________________________________________ Vandeir Eduardo (CCNA) Laborat?rio de Computa??o e Inform?tica (LCI) - Campus IV Fundacao Universidade Regional de Blumenau (FURB) Rua Braz Wanka, 238 - CEP: 89.035-160 - Blumenau (SC) Blumenau, SC, Brasil.

In particular, smbpasswd -U -r uses a 'null session', which is defeated by 'restrict anonymous'. A kerberos password change might still work, and pam_winbind is certainly a good option (Samba 3.0) Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett abartlet@pcug.org.au Manager, Authentication Subsystems, Samba Team abartlet@samba.org Student Network Administrator, Hawker College abartlet@hawkerc.net http://samba.org http://build.samba.org http://hawkerc.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
